Fox Racing Demo DH Short - Men's

  • Material: [body] 600D polyester, [front gusset, rear yoke] woven stretch, [liner] mesh

A truly comfortable downhill short should barely be noticeable, seeing that you’ll be raging down scary-steep trails strewn with hefty boulders and mandatory airs. The Fox Racing Men’s Demo DH Short are purposely designed for the dedicated downhill rider and competitive racer preferring the airy-cool comfort and freedom of movement of a relaxed fitting short. To ensure riding comfort, Fox Racing developed the Demo DH Short with RAP patterning (Rider Attack Position), which favors the aggressive riding position required on gravity trails and lift-accessed downhills. It’s a bit more relaxed and longer cut than a standard trail short, which gives you ample freedom when pedaling uphill isn’t required, as well as extra coverage from flying debris and nasty spills at high speeds. The short itself is constructed with robust, yet lightweight 600D polyester for bombproof durability without leaving you drenched in sweat. The front gusset and rear yoke employ the use of stretch woven fabric for fluid flexibility when you’re railing around high-speed berms and throwing whips over bigger gaps. Inside the short, the mesh liner adds plenty of support while moving moisture off your body for a comfortable feel in warm conditions. This robust construction is complemented with a ratcheting waistline for the ultimate in security, regardless of how fast you’re racing downhill.

Fox Racing Attack Water Jacket – 19817 Review

Fox Racing Attack Water Jacket - 19817

  • Material: [body] TruSeal, 3L waterproof fabric, DWR treated [underarms/shoulders] 3L stretch fabric, DWR treated
  • Waterproof Rating: 10,000mm
  • Breathability Rating: 10,000g/m

Changing seasons means unpredictable weather on the trails, so you’ll want to make sure you bring along your Fox Racing Attack Water jacket for men to keep you covered when weather turns and storms are brewing. Built with Fox’s TruSeal fabric, this lightweight water jacket will keep the rain from penetrating through your layers while you hunker down waiting for it to pass over, or barrel through wet branches and slick roots. 3L waterproof and breathable fabric makes up the main body to repel water, but in areas where you need a little stretch, Fox’s designers opted to use their lighter weight 3L stretch fabric, giving you the range of motion to manhandle your machine when slick wet rocks start sending you sideways. Every internal seam is taped to keep precipitation from finding a way in, and for good measure, everything is coated with a DWR treatment as a backup in serious storms. Side vents underarm offer a bit of temperature control, but unlike the Attack Pro water jacket, the Attack does not have laser cut back vents or chest vents.
